What the hell does that mean? If anyone was going to invent and film a depraved sex act that borders on legality it would be Lars. It could be worse and he could put a pink box over it like storytelling.

JB is guessing child porn. I'm guessing bestiality.

EDIT: I can't get away from thinking about this. How does blurring an image that is illegal make it any less legal or change anything? It doesn't. If the act itself is illegal then I don't see why blurring it changes anything.

If you think this is going to have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I've liked Shia LaBeouf since his Even Stevens days, but I'm afraid he's starting to take himself too seriously. Lars Von Trier makes compelling films, but I think they're also quite silly and lack sophistication. This could be a recipe for career disaster for LaBeouf. For Trier, it will be business as usual. The guy doesn't give a shit.

von trier's films have silly premises; but they're almost always carried out with a sense of seriousness that frustrates his audience and critics, because he manages to draw them into the story emotionally, no matter how outrageous the scenarios sound. in this way, it's perfectly fine for Lebouf to take himself seriously. That might be annoying in interviews, but that's what you need to be in a von trier movie.

Shia LaBeouf Sent Real Sex Tapes to 'Nymphomaniac' Director Lars von TrierThe actor says he gave the Danish helmer actual clips of himself and his girlfriend, stylist Karolyn Pho, to land his role.Source: THR

Shia LaBeouf continues his TMI -- er, Lawless -- media tour with his latest revelation that he sent actual sex tapes of himself and his girlfriend to Lars von Trier to land his role in the Danish director's upcoming movie Nymphomaniac.

"I sent him videotapes of me and my girlfriend having sex, and that's how I got the job," the former Disney Channel star told Chelsea Handler during an interview that aired Wednesday night on E! Entertainment's Chelsea Lately.

It's unclear whether LaBeouf, who is dating stylist Karolyn Pho, was joking, but he's previously said the sex scenes in the erotic two-part drama will be the real deal.

"[The movie] is what you think it is," LaBeouf recently told MTV News. "It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he's making. For instance, there's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening."

Nymphomaniac, which marks Von Trier's first film since 2011's Melancholia, will chronicle the sexual adventures of a woman (Charlotte Gainsbourg) from her youth through age 50. Stellan Skarsgard plays her husband, and Nicole Kidman has suggested she might have a small role in the film, which goes into production next month.

As for why he wanted the part, LaBeouf told Handler: "I don't know what it's gonna be until I get out there. I know he's a very dangerous director, I know we're trying to do something different. It's not your typical film. It's about what it's about."

LaBeouf, who recently went full-frontal for an artsy Sigur Ros music video, made his sex-tape revelation on the heels of a USA Today interview in which he said he dropped acid to prepare for a key scene in his upcoming crime comedy The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, which is in preproduction.

"There's a way to do an acid trip like Harold & Kumar, and there's a way to be on acid," LaBeouf said. "What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that (electric) chair in Dead Man Walking. These are the guys that I look up to."

LeBeouf also has said he was high one day on the set of Charlie Countryman, slated to be released at Sundance next year.

And, as The Hollywood Reporter previously reported, LaBeouf, best known for his roles in the Transformers movies and the latest Indiana Jones installment, has traded standard studio fare for indie films.

"I'm done," he declared. "There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist. You give Terrence Malick a movie like Transformers, and he's f---ed. There's no way for him to exist in that world."

Talking about the indie film world, LeBeouf added: "These dudes are a miracle. They give you the money, and they trust you -- [unlike the studios, which] give you the money, then get on a plane and come to the set and stick a finger up your ass and chase you around for five months."

The film, which von Trier is producing as two feature length dramas, is currently shooting in and around Cologne, Germany. It is unclear what role Thurman will play in the film. This will be Thurman's first role in a Von Trier film.

Nymphomaniac stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as Jo, a self- diagnosed Nymphomaniac. One night, an old bachelor, played by Stellan Skarsgard, finds her in an alley, badly beaten. He takes her home to nurse her back to health, while she recounts to him her life of erotic adventure.

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Stacy Martin, Connie Nielsen and Christian Slater are also among the cast. Nyphomaniac will be released in both soft and hard core versions with a bow planned for 2013.
